Zhou Quansheng, who was standing opposite Mo Shuwan, seemed to have no interest whatsoever. He didn't pay attention to the insects or Mo Shuwan, who was now most likely his competitor. Instead, he looked up at the four broken bridges above, and his gaze met that of Lin Guaiji, who was standing at the edge of one of the broken bridges.
Zhou Quansheng grinned. "Didn't expect that, did you?"
Lin Guai glanced at Zhou Quansheng coldly before turning his gaze to Mo Shuwan.
Mo Shuwan couldn't ignore Lin Guaiji's visit even if she wanted to. She turned her head to look at Lin Guaiji, but Lin Guaiji quickly looked away and continued to focus on the stones.
"roar!"
Just as the stone was about to reach the platform, a monster's roar suddenly came from below. Mo Shuwan looked down and almost instantly saw the monster hugging the sapling. Seeing that it was alright, the anxiety that had been hanging over her since they were separated finally eased.
Although it is not yet certain whether this monster is Wen Zuo, as long as there is even the slightest possibility that it is Wen Zuo, Mo Shuwan cannot allow it to get into trouble.
The monster stood on the lava as if walking on flat ground. Its scarlet eyes darted around a few times and spotted Mo Shuwan and Zhou Quansheng sitting on the platform. Mo Shuwan, who had been staring intently at it, immediately noticed its abnormality.
"roar!!!"
Unlike the other monsters standing on the lava, this monster, clinging to a small tree, stared intently at Zhou Quansheng, its roar deafening. Even though no expression could be seen on its ugly face, Mo Shuwan still understood the monster's emotions.
It sensed that Zhou Quansheng was eating the leaves of the sapling in its arms, and it wanted to kill Zhou Quansheng!
With such intense anger locked onto him, Zhou Quansheng couldn't possibly be unaware. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at the monster roaring at him, but the next moment, his vision was blocked by Mo Shuwan, who suddenly walked up to him.
Zhou Quansheng raised an eyebrow and glanced at Mo Shuwan, but said nothing.
On the broken bridge, Qin Liu, who had been standing at the innermost part before these monsters appeared, suddenly took a few steps forward. He stood on the edge, looking down at the monsters on the lava, his eyes narrowing.
Qin Liu suddenly walked out, and Wan Sheng, who hadn't seen him before, immediately reached out excitedly to greet him, "Class Monitor!"
Upon hearing the sound, Qin Liu turned to look at Wan Sheng and found that most of his brothers were around him. He breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Wan Sheng.
The current situation clearly shows that if the passengers want to reach the destination, they not only have to cross the lava, but also have to avoid the attacks of monsters. These stones are already small, and they also have to fight monsters. How is that possible?
The passengers who were initially eager to try quieted down. When the stones were connected to the round platform and the four broken bridges, everyone remained silent. No one wanted to be the first to step forward. Who knew if there were any hidden dangers that had not been discovered, in addition to the obvious ones?
Everyone has experienced the shamelessness of this game world, and no one doubts that the game might secretly cheat them.
In the silence, Lin Guai slowly walked to the edge of the broken bridge. He looked down at the stone in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then another red pupil appeared in his eye, crowding together with the white pupil and slowly filling the entire eye.
Several passengers standing behind Lin Guaiji subconsciously took two steps back.
Lin Guaiji lifted his foot and stepped onto a rock that was no bigger than his palm. He swayed a few times, but quickly regained his balance and stepped onto another rock with his other foot.
The passengers on the broken bridge saw a dark mark left on the stone Lin Guaiji had stepped on, a mark left by the extreme heat. Seeing Lin Guaiji had already stepped down to the fifth stone, the passengers on the broken bridge showed horror in their eyes.
Previously, they couldn't directly sense Lin Guaiji's strength, but now, looking at those dark stones, their mood became even heavier.
What the hell is this monster? Stepping on these hot stones, not only did it not cause injury, but it also made these stones lose their temperature.
"How can we compete with him for first place now?"
Lin Guaiji's journey wasn't as easy as everyone imagined. This short distance had already taken a toll on him, and he would probably have to find another way to get down into the lava.
Ao Tian, standing on the broken bridge opposite Lin Guaiji, darkened his gaze.
He originally thought his strength was on par with those newly released criminals, but now, looking at Lin Guaiji in front of him, Ao Tian, who was extremely confident in himself, felt defeated for the first time.
Compared to a sinner, he is far from being a true criminal...
The second to act was Qin Liu, but his expression changed drastically as soon as he stepped onto the stone. In the end, he had no choice but to retreat back to the broken bridge, where the insects under his feet seemed to be mocking his overestimation of his abilities.
Seeing Qin Liu's reaction, the other passengers remained silent for a moment. But it was impossible to give up without even trying. So everyone on the four broken bridges tried to step onto the stones, but as soon as they put their feet on the stones, their expressions changed and they pulled their feet back.
"Damn, he walked so easily, I thought it was simple." This was the grumbling of a passenger whose foot was instantly blistered from being scalded.
On the circular platform, Mo Shuwan and Zhou Quansheng also stood up. Although people kept trying and failing on the four broken bridges, neither of them planned to give up.
Zhou Quansheng first tentatively stepped on the stone, then suddenly took a few steps back as if he had an epileptic seizure, fell to the ground, hugged his foot, and looked distorted.
It hurts!
Mo Shuwan glanced at Zhou Quansheng, then at Lin Guaiji, who was now not far from their circular platform. She took a deep breath, stepped onto the stone, and the sole of her shoe instantly melted, burning several large blisters on her foot. The searing pain made her face turn pale.
Mo Shuwan, who had just stepped back on the insect, was too pained to care about how disgusting the insect was. However, she quickly looked down at the insect with a surprised expression, which was sticking out its tongue and trying to lick her foot. Ignoring her discomfort, Mo Shuwan immediately sat down, exposing the soles of her feet that had just been scalded to her sight.
In those few short seconds, the large blisters on the soles of her feet disappeared. Mo Shuwan looked at the spot where she had just stepped and saw the two insects staring at her with their tongues lolling out, as if—they were still not satisfied.
"They absorbed all that heat?"
Just as this thought popped into Mo Shuwan's mind, the passengers on the four broken bridges had already squatted down and tried various methods to catch the insects.
These insects can not only absorb heat, but also heal their burns. With them, reaching the finish line is not difficult at all.
Mo Shuwan quickly figured out the strangeness of these insects. Lin Guaiji was extremely powerful and had already traveled a distance without the help of these external forces. If he were to reach the area where the monsters were first, he would definitely not hold back against them. At that time, the monster that was suspected to be Wen Zuo would be in danger!
The insects that she could feel with her feet just now were now completely inaccessible to her when she tried to touch them with her hands. Her palms touched a completely flat surface, as if the ground itself wasn't an insect at all.
